[DeTomaso] More "Emergency flasher"

[David & Marilyn Bell]

Maybe all Pantera hazard switches aren't the same.  The bulb in mine flashes
when the switch is activated, but also stays lit dimly anytime the ignition
key is turned on - so you can see the center button at night if it needs to
be pushed.  I assumed that the 'always on' function was what Wayne was
trying to do away with.  Disconnecting the appropriate wire should
accomplish that.

Check the diagram
at:http://www.panteraplace.com/Electrical/TURN%20SIGNALS%20AND%20HAZARD%20WA
RNINGS%20(LATE).pdf  for the circuitry and the layout of the
pins and light dimming  resistor.

The switch contact which controls the lamp is not opening when the  Hazard
Switch is OFF. The switches are repairable and new ones are  available but
the
switch is a major pain to remove and replace. If you  push the switch in
manually as far as possible, the lamp should go out. A small  piece of
cardboard
wedged between the button and bezel will hold the switch  fully OFF. Tacky?
Yes.
Works? Yes.
